Now that my brain has been fired up and I am interested in reading again, I came across some cool camping resources on archive.org.
The following books are from the late 1800s and early 1900s. There are some fascinating images (see below) capturing interesting ways to build out items or in one case, how to hook up your dog to shoulder some of the load(!).
How To Live In The Woods
Hints for Camping and Walking. How To Camp Out.
Canoeing and Camping
The Book of Camping
Camp-Lore and Woodcraft
Alone in the Wilderness
Hope you got something interesting out of these!
Cheers,
Mungo
